  • Over the Rainbow

    Song Lyrics on Allspirit

    PERFORMER Judy Garland
    MUSIC/LYRICS Harold Arlen/E. Y. Harburg

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Way up high
    There’s a land that I heard of
    Once in a lullaby

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Skies are blue
    And the dreams that you dare to dream
    Really do come true

    Some day I’ll wish upon a star
    And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where troubles melt like lemondrops
    Away above the chimney tops
    That’s where you’ll find me

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    Birds fly over the rainbow
    Why then, oh why can’t I?
    Some day I’ll wish upon a star
    And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where troubles melt like lemondrops
    Away above the chimney tops
    That’s where you’ll find me

    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    Birds fly over the rainbow
    Why then, oh why can’t I?

    If happy little bluebirds fly
    Beyond the rainbow
    Why, oh why can’t I?

  • Peace

    By Sara Teasdale

    Peace flows into me
    As the tide to the pool by the shore;
    It is mine forevermore,
    It ebbs not back like the sea.

    I am the pool of blue
    That worships the vivid sky;
    My hopes were heaven-high,
    They are all fulfilled in you.

    I am the pool of gold
    When sunset burns and dies, —
    You are my deepening skies,
    Give me your stars to hold.
